Dr. Lin has distinguished her practice with her unusual combination of education in Western and Chinese medicine. Dr. Lin obtained her M.D.* in 1984 from Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, one of the three foremost medical schools in China, and her Master’s degree in Biomedicine with a concentration in Acupuncture in 1987 from the same university. Dr. Lin credits her 30 years of success to softer skills: a keen observation of the many layers of forces that shape a body, an uncanny intuition, a remarkable memory and focus, and an ability to envision and quickly strategize plans to achieve the health potential of each of her patients. Dr. Lin believes that how you live your life affects your health. She is deeply compassionate about her patients’ life stories, struggles, and moments of stagnation, and has found that physical recovery is often intertwined with emotional recovery. *Dr. Lin is not a licensed physician in Colorado. Dr. Lin limits her practice exclusively to TCM.
Dr. Don Walker is a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine from the National Certification Commission of Oriental Medicine and is nationally licensed to practice acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
Having completed over 4,000 hours of intensive academic and clinical training, Don persisted at the top of his class. He studied traditional Chinese and Korean medicine at Wongu University of Oriental Medicine and was awarded a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine. He also completed a clinical/professional doctorate at Pacific College of Health and Science and was awarded a Doctor of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization degree.
Don began learning the philosophy of Asian healing arts from his mother, as his first guide and teacher. Healthy living was a way of life in his upbringing, consisting of traditional Asian cuisine from home gardening along with herbal food based remedies.
These experiences forged a path for Don to acquire a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science at Georgia State University, including studies in nutrition, rehabilitation and wellness. During an internship for Cardiac rehabilitation at Texas Medical Center, a profound interest was fostered in rehabilitative and preventative medicines.
After graduating, he worked as a Health Fitness Specialist at B.J. Margaret Bradshaw Wellness Center in Houston, Texas. He served clients with special health challenges such as diabetes, parkinson’s, alzheimer’s, heart surgery, knee and hip replacement surgery as well as other high risk health conditions.
Don has been a practitioner of traditional Chinese martial arts / qi gong over 25 years where he furthered his learning of healing arts having used herbal liniments for trauma, pain, sports related injuries as well as other traditional Chinese healing modalities such as tui na and acupressure.
He is a 5th generation direct student of the late Grandmaster Henry Poo Yee within the Chinese Kung Fu Academy of Southern Praying Mantis Federation, U.S.A. with authorization to teach and utilize the healing modalities he has learned.
When he isn’t practicing and studying, he enjoys teaching, hiking, cooking, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
